New Delhi: Advising to submit the trial safety and efficacy data, the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has given its nod to drug major Novo-Nordisk for conducting the phase III clinical trial of anti-diabetic fixed dose combination drug containing Cagrilinitide and Semaglutide.

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue intended for once-weekly treatment being developed by Novo Nordisk, as a subcutaneous formulation, for the treatment of obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog used to manage type 2 diabetes along with lifestyle changes, such as dietary restrictions and increased physical activity. GLP-1 is a physiological hormone that promotes glycemic control via several different mechanisms, including insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing postprandial glucagon secretion. The homeostasis of glucose is dependent on hormones such as insulin and amylin, which are secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas.
